Rooms are to be booked directly with the hotel. But please confirm with me that you have done so. You can see that there is limited availability of the Premier Lake View rooms. First come, first served. The Lake View rooms are very nice also. I have stayed in one of the Garden View Rooms, nice and comfortable missing only the view of the lake.

We would suggest that we take the Tavern Brasserie on the Tuesday evening and the Tower Restaurant on the Thursday evening for our farewell dinner.

This leaves Wednesday evening free. Our proposal is we have a full day out to Portmeirion Italianate Village, taking a two course lunch at Castell Deudraeth which gives us good parking, complimentary mini-bus to the village and free entry.

This would be less expensive than paying for entry and buying lunch at the village and parking amongst other visitors. ( I know how precious our Panthers are to us)

We will take a scenic route to and from Portmeirion and aim to be back at our base by early evening.

There will be plenty of free time Tuesday and Thursday to enjoy the Spa and Hotel facilities. The walk around the lake is level and quite spectacular. For the petrol heads there are plenty of superb driving roads.

Our first 2019 Area 12 local visit is to Castle Drogo EX6 6PB on the 12th.May.
Gather at the ‘Hog & Hedge’ A30 Whiddon Down Services EX20 2QT for 10.30am Castle Drogo is a 1930’s Lutyens design, National Trust owned, and has just completed a multi-million pound renovation to keep the rain out.
The countryside around here is beautiful Springtime Devon. The castle has several walks down to and along the River Teign.
